SANTA ANA : Word ‘Education’ Joining City Logo
The city’s logo, which appears on all city vehicles, welcoming signs and stationary, is being modified by addition of the words “Education 1st.”
City Manager David N. Ream said the change reflects the city’s commitment to education and will play a role in the marketing of the Santa Ana 2000 Plan.
That plan, approved last October at a joint meeting of the City Council and Rancho Santiago College Board of Trustees, includes after-school programs at all 29 city parks and offers scholarships to promising students. The plan is designed to tackle the problems of gangs, drugs, high dropout rates and inadequate child care.
The original logo was designed in 1983 to promote business and investment opportunities offered in Santa Ana. Ream said the modification will now permit use of the logo to promote educational opportunities as well.
Ream said it will cost the city about $10,000 to change all of the logos. The new version will be in place within six months.
